ABSTRACT: Background
Latest research on ankylosing spondylitis (AS) indicates a link between the B3GNT2, PSMG1 genes and susceptibility to AS among western populations. However, the association of these three genes with AS in eastern populations remains insufficiently explored. It is necessary to replicate these studies in other populations. Consequently, we chose tagSNPs in these three genes in the Chinese Han population to be sequenced.Purpose
We tried to find the SNP loci that are associated in both eastern and western populations through repeated experiments. Furthermore, our research extended to examining the link between these genes and the severity of AS. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the tagSNPs of B3GNT2 (rs10865331, rs6545925, rs467250), the rs4676410
